I come from a rural family in Huining County, Gansu Province. My parents are both farmers; they are now over fifty years old, and their physical strength has declined significantly due to years of labor. My eighty-year-old grandfather also requires constant care, which is a heavy responsibility for our family. My brother is also a university student, just like me, and our combined tuition fees have become a significant financial burden on my parents. Despite our difficult economic situation, I have never given up on my studies, always believing that hard work brings rewards. To alleviate my parents' financial burden, ensure the continuity of my studies, and eventually better repay my parents, give back to society, and express gratitude to those who have helped me, I am formally submitting this application for the National Encouragement Scholarship. I sincerely request the review and approval of the college and department leadership. Moving forward, I will hold myself to even higher standards and strive for even better performance.
Receiving this scholarship would not only be a great honor but also a profound encouragement for my academic achievements. It will motivate me to pursue my studies and my life's journey with even more persistence, passion, and the strength to strive for excellence.
